| Looking for new speakers What would you be looking to improve upon over the Maggies, and what aspects of speaker performance are most important to you? | |

| Some Amplification Recommendations This modded McCormack DNA-1 would tick all your boxes if the guy will ship from Canada (which should also drop the price if you're paying in US$). Great amp. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649480631-mccormack-dna1-deluxe-edition-rev-agol... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. I don't know those cables, but I will say based on this review they seem like a much better fit for JA. It'll be very interesting to hear your thoughts on this pairing. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue14/synchestra.htm | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. I believe Joseph uses Cardas wire in at least some of its speakers. They would certainly be warmer sounding than Nordost. Personally I would not use Nordost with JA. Acoustic Zen, Morrow, or Analysis Plus may be some others worth trying. Hope ... | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? I'm with you on the R2R DAC thing. The Metrum Onyx is another one in your price range and is also NOS. The Onyx features a lot of the design and proprietary technology from their top DACs, and they're built in the Netherlands if that matters. H... | |

| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor If you're like me, and 2-channel is your passion but you also want a good, satisfying, and entertaining HT experience, I'd find it VERY hard to justify the considerable added expense of running a separate AV processor and multichannel amp. You're... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @freesole -- these are new speakers, right? If they're not broken in and you already like what you're hearing, I think that's a great sign. Be interested in what changes you hear as the D9s break in. Congrats on a great pair of speakers! | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. +1 @mrmb -- great post @spatialking and left me wanting to at least do something to mitigate electrical issues I almost certainly have here. Could you possibly post some links to some products to help us non-EE types try to fight this battle? I'... | |
| AV cabinet for large center channel. There are stands made for putting larger center speakers on the floor that angle the speaker upwards. If this passes the WAF test it's probably your simplest and cheapest solution. | |
